25. Croton myrianthus Müller Argoviensis (1865: 138) View in CoL .
Type: — BRAZIL. ‘in Brasilia Meridionali’, s.d., F. Sellow 3936 (holotype B† ; lectotype SP 18550! designated by Lima & Pirani 2008b; isolectotypes A 00257962!, photo F 0 BN005137 View Materials !, G 00434607!, NY 00262931!) ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 , A–B).
Croton myrianthus is a shrub with subentire lepidote trichomes on both leaf surfaces, and unisexual inflorescences. Lima & Pirani (2008b) pointed out the similarities between C. myrianthus and C. uruguayensis , however, the two species can be distinguished by inflorescence size (up to 2 cm long in C. myrianthus vs. up to 7 cm in C. uruguayensis ), and by leaf shape (elliptical, ovate or ovate-lanceolate in C. myrianthus vs. narrowly elliptic to narrowly lanceolate in C. uruguayensis ). The species belongs to section Lamprocroton subsect. Lamprocroton ( van Ee & Berry 2011) .
Distribution and habitat:— It occurs in southern (PR, RS, SC) Brazil ( Caruzo et al. 2020), where it grows in open vegetation, frequently close to riverbanks, between 700 and 990 m of elevation ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 ).
Phenology:— Flowering and fruiting from October to March.
